DANCING On Ice star Regan Gascoigne has left dad Paul and sister Bianca “really emotional” with his nail-biting performance.
The glamour model, 35, gushed she is the “proudest sister in the universe” after watching her sibling, 26, top the ITV show’s leaderboard numerous times.
Yet the ex Love Island star has told how her elation is “bittersweet” after witnessing the horror injuries suffered by former Dancing On Ice competitors.
Bianca told Closer Magazine: “Watching Regan on the ice has been difficult too because there have been some nasty injuries on the show, like skin being sliced open and breaks and sprains.
“I’m always on the edge of my seat because I know he could really hurt himself – it feels slightly bittersweet.
“My dad has broken down in tears watching Regan and I have too.
“We all get really emotional because he’s such a beautiful performer.”
Sunday night’s episode saw former Strictly Come Dancing professional Brendan Cole, Pussycat Dolls star Kimberly Wyatt and singer and dancer Regan all score the maximum 40 points.
At just six-years-old, Regan discovered his love for performing arts and at age eight, he enrolled into the Hammond Ballet School.
